World Cup 2019: Naive to think New Zealand could win every game, says Neesham

The Hindu  

All-rounder Jimmy Neesham is confident that New Zealand’s defeat against Pakistan in Birmingham on Wednesday will not derail their World Cup bid. “I think you’d be pretty naive to expect to go through the whole tournament unbeaten,” said the 28-year-old Neesham. “We’ll prepare for the next game the same way we’ve prepared for the last six,” said Neesham, whose team next play Australia at Lord’s on Saturday, with their final game against hosts England on July 3. “I think probably being 46-4 was a pretty significant moment in the game,” said Neesham of New Zealand’s bad start, caused mainly by Shaheen’s burst of three wickets in 20 balls.
